My Messiah-supporting pal Steve Sherman notes a trend in our blogging lately. Honestly, I’m bored with writing about it, although e-mail tips about new angles continue to trickle in. Let’s see if we can close the show with this one. Not a rant, just a redirect to a rant — namely, Ace’s on CNN analyst Roland Martin’s hacktacular apologia for Wright’s 9/11 sermon. You need to read Bob Owens’s update here to appreciate how dishonest Martin’s selective quotation is, but laying aside the source, what exactly is the argument? That celebrating the glorious karmic payback delivered by St. Osama is fair game so long as you’re quoting Ed Peck, a Reagan official, when you do it? Old old old-school HA readers might recall that Peck has popped up on this site before. The Reagan administration wasn’t the only one he worked for, and the chickens coming home to roost isn’t the only “nuanced” opinion he holds when it comes to jihadist elements.
To come full circle with the quote from his speech that I found so irritating on Tuesday, if Obama sincerely believes the great national conversation on race can’t wait a moment longer, why didn’t he use the bully pulpit of being a presidential candidate to start it last year? Why now, if it’s not just a cynical attempt to distract attention from his own scandal? The obvious answer: Because to force a discussion of race then would have it made too easy for Hillary to ghettoize him as a “black candidate” before the primaries. He held off to preserve his chances. That’s fine, but contrast his approach to race with McCain’s approach to Iraq. As far back as eleven months ago, before the surge results were in and doom awaited any candidate who dared take a hawkish line, Maverick was telling audiences that he’d rather lose the election than lose the war. The issue came first, his own political ambitions came second. There’s a little character comparison worth mulling. And since we’ve already had one exit question today that’ll be asked forever, here’s another: If the Wright thing had never blown up, would Obama have ever delivered this allegedly urgently important, historically significant meditation on race? You think?
One more. How come Spitzer didn’t think to take this approach with his own scandal? He could have delivered the Great Speech on Gender that had been gestating in his soul for decades, born at last unto the world by the shock of him getting caught handing a hooker four bills to work him over. “I can no sooner disown ‘Kristen’ than I can disown gender in its entirety.” The SNL skit writes itself.
Update: See what I mean about new angles? Pay attention to Karl’s last paragraph, as it’s the most important one.
Update (Ed): I generally post on items that interest me. Stephen, who’s a great guy, counted 22 Obama posts in three days, which accounts for a little less than a third of the work AP and I did over that period of time. I don’t apologize for that; it was a dominant story with a multitude of further developments. If more come, I’ll probably comment on those, too. I don’t feel compelled to either write about or not write about any particular topic based on the level of existing commentary that precedes it.
My specific issue with Fox was focusing two hours on one particular development — the “typical white person” comment. If we did three posts on that point, I’ve missed at least one of them.
Update: Karl was promising another new angle in the comments. Here you go. Chris Matthews will be inconsolable.
Most startling is that blacks by 56% to 31% said the speech made them less likely to vote for him. That may be because Obama had some gutsy perspectives on blacks as well as on whites, and black observers of the speech may have been annoyed. But it’s hard to imagine that there’s going to be an appreciable retreat by blacks from the Obama column.
Democrats disapproved 48% to 28%, which looks sobering for Obama on first glance, but might portend otherwise. If blacks irritated by Obama’s remarks will return to the fold, than impressing whites is probably a more vital read on the numbers. And Democratic whites were more sympathetic with the speech’s message than black ones.
The disturbing numbers for Obama are the independent voters. By 56% to 13%, they said they’re less likely to vote for him because of the speech.

Obama is surely becoming a tiresome bore, although I will admit that he is a master of butt covering. Then again what do I know; I’m just a “typical white person”.
rplat on March 21, 2008 at 5:02 PM
Brilliant.
Spirit of 1776 on March 21, 2008 at 5:02 PM
One of your finest posts, AP. Good close.
mikeyboss on March 21, 2008 at 5:03 PM
Like Peter Cottontail, I wish Obama would go hippity hopping down the road…that wascally wabbitt…
Exit question: Does AP take the left over stories, hide them in plastic easter eggs, and then invite his fellow bloggers in to find them?
right2bright on March 21, 2008 at 5:05 PM
Can I make a prediction about one of the first stories from next week? The PA state site that allows you to change your party registration is down, and has been for days. And in a possibly related development, the downloadable mail-in form site is slammed. The deadline is Monday.
Ed Rendell, you magnificent b*****d!
DrSteve on March 21, 2008 at 5:07 PM
Did John Kerry write that speech Obama gave?
Pam on March 21, 2008 at 5:09 PM
I’d just like someone to ask Obama, if he is elected president in November, will Rev. Wright have a participatory role in next January’s inauguration ceremonies?
jon1979 on March 21, 2008 at 5:11 PM
As far back as X, … and doom awaited any candidate who dared take an [unpopular] line [the war], “the M.” was telling audiences [what he thought]. The issue came first, his own political ambitions came second. There’s a little character comparison worth mulling.
I agree.
commissar on March 21, 2008 at 5:13 PM
If BO would just do a press conference to clear the air on all things related to Trinity, then Fox News and HA wouldn’t have so many questions. Ya think?
d1carter on March 21, 2008 at 5:15 PM
I see comments have been closed at Martin’s blog.
Allah, this post of yours is superb.

Seriously? So is he!
Only 8 more months, Allah.
amerpundit on March 21, 2008 at 5:21 PM
Isn’t that just being a smart politician. Why fan the flames if they will die out on their own?
By the way, this story has at least one more week of life in it. (even if Drudge insists on ignoring it)

Here’s a test for the Wright apologists:
I’ll agree to forget about the whole Wright thing if we can publish the entire sermon in the national news media, with “white” changed to “black” throughout, and attribute it to a long-time preacher friend of McCain….without the entire MSM and all the usual left-wing suspects going nuclear for a month or more!!!
Bet they can’t help themselves…even if they know it’s a hoax set up to test them!
landlines on March 21, 2008 at 5:22 PM
And those that Bashes George W. Bush for going on 8 years are hypocrites.
Chakra Hammer on March 21, 2008 at 5:29 PM
AP,
Thanks for the link. Sadly, I’ll have another semi-new angle up in about an hour at Protein Wisdom.
bnelson44,
Obama’s reflexive stonewalling is of much greater degree than most pols. He’s worse than the Clintons. On Rezko, he stonewalled the local media even on completely non-incriminating matters. This is the guy who walks out of a presser, saying, “Guys, I’ve already answered eight questions…”
Karl on March 21, 2008 at 5:29 PM
Allahpundit’s feva went away… :{
Someone sneeze in his direction. >:}
Chakra Hammer on March 21, 2008 at 5:33 PM
LOL! Wow 8 Questions ! whoo hoo!
Chakra Hammer on March 21, 2008 at 5:35 PM
Why would you listen to the scoldings of an Obama supporter to stop writing bad things about him?
scatbug on March 21, 2008 at 5:35 PM
You know, I couldn’t stand Mitt Romney the least little bit, but I’ll give him credit ~ he took the whole Mormon thing by the horns. Innuendo and rumor were crawling up his sphincter until he attempted to reassure the vast majority of Americans who think they’re some kind of alien thing. I would propose that, in the eyes of Joe SixPack, Black Liberation blahblah also arrived via spaceship and those Mormons haven’t said or done anything in a hundred years as hateful as Rev. Wright sputtered EVERY week, in THIS decade.
Obama didn’t try explaining that, you’ll notice. If he gets the nomination, I’ll venture that Joe SixPack notices, too.
And starts to wonder what he ever did in his lifetime to make a presidential candidate worship where they hate.
Maybe he’ll ask his friends at work. “Whud I do? Them people’s hateful crazy!”
I hope so.
tree hugging sister on March 21, 2008 at 5:37 PM
Karl I love Protein Wisdom. Good work. Keep the good stuff coming. AP thanks for making my day today. You cannot make this good stuff up - just package it in a nicely digestible form for me to consume!!!!!!!
HawaiiLwyr on March 21, 2008 at 5:39 PM
Hey, since Steve Sherman’s here, and he thinks Obama’s association with the Rev. Wright is no big deal (check our good pal Commissar’s earlier posts), perhaps he can explain why it he thinks anyone gleefully dancing around and cheering 9/11 like he was Ward friggin’ Churchill is acceptable, and why he thinks it’s no big deal that a presidential candidate is hanging around with that kind of vermin. How ’bout it, Commissar?
doubleplusundead on March 21, 2008 at 5:41 PM
I don’t need to answer no stinkin’ questions!
I shall be coronated king of amerika! no question asked!
Question me and you are a racist!
Chakra Hammer on March 21, 2008 at 5:41 PM
Republican candidate who makes a campaign stop at a church in which anti-gay sermons have been given: Hateful homophobic extremist.
Democratic candidate who for 20 years attends a church in which racist, anti-American, conspiracy theory, pro-terrorist sermons are made and the pastor who gave them appointed to his campaign: How dare you question it, you typical white person racist.
Hollowpoint on March 21, 2008 at 5:41 PM
I hope that the focus will get to the Black Liberation Theology and Marxism. That is a VERY serious issue I have with Obama! His wrong Rev. Wright is just more evidence that Obama is a marxist and he will destroy this republic if he is elected. Hillary will screw it up, but Obama will DESTROY it!!
ihasurnominashun on March 21, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Thanks for the reply. I’m looking forward to your new angle as well.
bnelson44 on March 21, 2008 at 5:46 PM
One of my brothers a mechanic Union member is freaked out at the thought of Obama as President.. LOL
He’s like Have you heard about Obama!!!? This guy CAN NOT GET ELECTED!
Sheesh, he’s not really that political but he’s totally turned off by Obama now.
(More like hopping MAD) >:D
Chakra Hammer on March 21, 2008 at 5:49 PM
Obama is a UNITER though, don’t you see? The world will love us once he’s leading the US.
It will be worth it, in the long run. And we can teach those pesky RINO’s a lesson. Vote Obama!
NTWR on March 21, 2008 at 5:54 PM
Personally, I’m not bored yet by all the Obama stuff. Maybe I should be, but hearing the sermons by Rev. Wright were certainly eye-opening for me. For a 40yr. old white person who’s been force-fed the pc crap their whole life, I’m a bit pissed to see the way this has been turned around and is being used against me. And I have kids, do my kids have to deal with this garbage as well?
4shoes on March 21, 2008 at 5:57 PM
Of course he will!
ArmyAunt on March 21, 2008 at 5:59 PM
That’s ironic. I was just talking to two neighbors who, I thought anyways, are fairly conservative politically. We got on the Obama/ rev. Wright topic and they were both pretty quick to dismiss it with the argument that, ‘Well everyone’s got friends or relatives they’re embarrassed of…’
4shoes on March 21, 2008 at 6:03 PM
I’m a typical white guy who’s typically offended by a typical black politician trying to pin typical racism on typical white grandmothers when his typical black preacher spews typical black anti-American racist hate speak.
It’s just sooooooo, typical.
Kini on March 21, 2008 at 6:08 PM
No
slp on March 21, 2008 at 6:11 PM
Yeah, let’s not let Obama pull audiences away from, say, another NYT front page story on Abu Ghraib. That would be wro-o-o-o-ng.
It’s disturbing to me that an outlet like Hot Air can be brow-beaten into feeling guilty about covering critically important questions concerning a leading candidate for president. Welcome to The Media, boys, now get into line.
Django on March 21, 2008 at 6:12 PM
The likely democratic presidential nominee for 2008, Obama, is surely becoming a tiresome bore.
John Kerry anyone?
JiangxiDad on March 21, 2008 at 6:13 PM

STAY HOME ‘08
DfDeportation on March 21, 2008 at 6:15 PM
I think I had a pretty good handle on the magnitude and scope of this but it turns out I somewhat underestimated the anger it’s created. The “typical white person” comment has put people completely over the edge.
TheBigOldDog on March 21, 2008 at 6:16 PM
Typical white people play air-guitar to Van Halen. That’s why they kick-ass at GUITAR-HERO. It’s bred into them….
DfDeportation on March 21, 2008 at 6:17 PM
I hope you checked out the link. It’s funny in a typical white person sort of way.
NTWR on March 21, 2008 at 6:23 PM
And even then, he will not answer direct questions on the controversy. He will announce “a major speech” to be given in the near future. Then he will huddle with his advisors and speech writers, dust of some broad themed book passage, add a few rhetorical flourishes, and distract the MSM with smoke and mirrors. Chris Matthews with get another shiver running up his leg, and the MSM will forget about the issue that started the controversy to begin with.
tommylotto on March 21, 2008 at 6:23 PM
dust OFF
tommylotto on March 21, 2008 at 6:25 PM
You mean he will huddle with his typical white people advisors and speech writers.
Until this week I thought that we should be running against Hillary. It turns out that Barry O is just a gift that keeps on giving. I’m thinking now that we should be running against him.
Barry O = The Giving Tree
Mojave Mark on March 21, 2008 at 6:35 PM
I don’t get those numbers. The speech definitely made me more likely to vote for Obama… as much as an one infinitesimal can be larger than another.
frankj on March 21, 2008 at 6:36 PM
Well, AP, bored or not, every post on HA about this issue has brought, I think, a significant new insight to the overall narrative. There has been little redundancy here, and the parts that have been repetitive, are usually only so because a refreshing of previous points are needed for the new angle to build upon.
Weight of Glory on March 21, 2008 at 6:37 PM
I believe it. I also believe the MSM is so awash in white guilt they can’t fathom the real affect of J. Wright + speech.
Spirit of 1776 on March 21, 2008 at 6:41 PM
WOW! that is interesting!
Weight of Glory on March 21, 2008 at 6:43 PM
Sorry to interrupt-I have a question I hoped someone could answer–
The video “Is Obama Wright?” on youtube has remained at 184,557 views all day despite being linked everywhere (NYT, ABC, politico) because of the Soren Dayton thing.
Why is the view counter not changed? How does it work-anybody know?
Ex-tex on March 21, 2008 at 6:44 PM
It’s almost to 250k now. Maybe it was posted more than once. Or maybe it’s a left wing conspiracy… Bwuhahahahhaha
tommylotto on March 21, 2008 at 6:49 PM
Yeah, apparently the mainstream beliefs in the Black community isn’t that America should be damned, we created AIDS, the nation is white supremacist, and we deserved 9/11.
Obama:
Uh, yeah, you can.
amerpundit on March 21, 2008 at 6:56 PM
Don’t get bored writing about this. Obama is a flim-fam man the likes we have not seen in a while; kind of a modern day Huey Long. The guy is not only an enabler of racism and bigotry and Jew hatred, but he is an out and out liar. If we have to write every day between now and November to keep this guy out of the Whitehouse, it is not only worth it is required. Who said keeping liberty was easy?
georgealbert on March 21, 2008 at 7:07 PM
I think the only angle left unexplored is the teachings of the church itself. “Mother” country (hasn’t been mentioned by Obama or the media, that I can see), black liberation theology (no one is touching that one) and a “non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA”. The media is looking at the trees and not seeing the forest.
Sue on March 21, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Lulz…
Either he’s getting hammered, or this is turning into drama drama time.
spmat on March 21, 2008 at 7:09 PM
Really? What specifically were those “gutsy perspectives on blacks” that I missed when I listened to his speech? Did Obama ask blacks to accept responsibility for the high numbers of single-parent families in their community (and the high rates of teen pregnancies, STD’s, etc.)? Did he ask them to accept responsibility for the high crimes rates in their community, and the high rate of black-on-white violent crimes? Did he ask them to accept responsibility for the high drop-out rates in their community? Did he suggest terminating those resentment-breeding affirmative action and racial preference programs?
I heard Obama lecture typical white people like me that we need to be more understanding of righteous black anger, and that we need to be spending a lot more money on programs that benefit black communities, but I sure didn’t hear any “gutsy perspectives” about blacks’ reciprocal responsibilities.
Please enlighten me as to what I missed.
AZCoyote on March 21, 2008 at 7:09 PM
Obama reminds me of Ashlee Simpson doing her little “hoedown” dance on SNL after the phony music track caught he faking it.
Barack thinks he’s cute, but he’s only fooling himself.
(And his anal lamprey Gov.Richardson.)
profitsbeard on March 21, 2008 at 7:22 PM
Yeah he just sounds jealous. His last post, before this limp-wristed little slap at HA, was written four days ago, and he simpers:
Apparently his latest obsession is scrolling through a rival’s blog, counting one, two, three, four, oh wait that was a complimentary post on Obama, threeee, fourrrr, fiiiive…
RushBaby on March 21, 2008 at 7:23 PM
The general election is a fight for the middle. If I were Hillary I would make sure this survey is in the hands of every superdelegate.
bnelson44 on March 21, 2008 at 7:23 PM
TL- This is the video I referenced- it still shows 184,577.
Ex-tex on March 21, 2008 at 7:25 PM
Okay, here is my end-of-the-week statement on Hussein Obama…
He is a racist!!!!!!!!
Happy Easter.
madmonkphotog on March 21, 2008 at 7:35 PM
No worries, now that his passport was viewed by some 25 year-old computer geek, HE’S A VICTIM AGAIN!!!
On to the nomination, and then… THE WORLD!!! Ha ha ha….
mojojojo on March 21, 2008 at 7:40 PM
So, if you add the ‘among black voters’ poll numbers a different way… 52% are less likely to vote for him while 46% are more likely to vote for him or were already going to vote for him, with 2% who having no opinion. Taking into account those who have no opinion and the margin of error at 3.2%, the poll is pretty much inconclusive as to which side has a majority.
Good reporting (sarcasm).

AP I know you must be weary. Rest up this weekend, and come back strong Monday. One more week. Please? Remember, we MUST have this conversation.
chief on March 21, 2008 at 8:01 PM
My brothers seemed more “worried” or suspicious of Obama’s motives, not putting his hand over his heart, not wearing, flag lapel pin, combined with the GD America stuff(Also how the Rev. has ties to Louis Farrakhan)
It was a total, overload.. it seems..(He mostly listens to sports on Sirius radio, but recently he was listening to Fox News on there i guess.. )
Put it this way, no way in hell could you get him to vote for Obama.
Chakra Hammer on March 21, 2008 at 8:22 PM
You can denounce his wrongs and correct them, admit and take responsibility, when you are wrong.
Keeping Rev. Wrongs cycle of victimhood going is NOT what the black community needs especially the “inner city black community”, this is supposed to be a Church, forgiveness , redemption and love should be taught.
Not to preach hate, make victims and make people feel hopeless as though they are trapped in a society that does not want them.
Chakra Hammer on March 21, 2008 at 8:30 PM
When will liberals learn, you don’t win by losing? Well probably never.
The ultimate victimologist is surprised to find teethmarks, in his butt.
Speakup on March 21, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Just keep him talking. Funny…as soon as he has to start saying anything other than Hope and Change, he puts his foot in his mouth…if he gets the nomination and all of the focus is on him, he’ll implode.

You know what I like best about you Allah? If I ever wonder if my faith or religion is affecting my view of democracy or opinion on the political scene, I can go here and know that your opinion is not colored by the same circumstances.
I like that.
Rightwingsparkle on March 21, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Yeah, but that wasn’t FOX News per se…it was the morning fluff show “F&F”. Under no circumstances…even if they do deliver some news…do I consider any morning show anywhere on the networks or cable as news programs.
JetBoy on March 21, 2008 at 10:08 PM
November 2008, when America finds out just how spot on McCarthy was.
OldEnglish on March 21, 2008 at 11:08 PM
It’s Easter Time For God’s sake.
Can Hot Air stop mentioning Hussein for at least a day so that we can remember and celebrate our Christian Heritage?
Indy Conservative on March 21, 2008 at 11:16 PM
i guess that steve’s point is that you guys have been devoting an inordinate amount of time to him and the speech lately? well, it certainly ain’t just hotair!
i did two posts at my blog linking every obama/speech story that i found on realclearpolitics.com in the last few days.
i didn’t do the math, but obama was definitely taking up somewhere around half of the headline space there for while.
p.s.: related to the topic-at-hand and not shameless self-promo! :-)
homesickamerican on March 21, 2008 at 11:25 PM
I seriously doubt it, it’s only Friday.
Hog Wild on March 21, 2008 at 11:28 PM
I hope this controversy continues even after it’s become clear that Obama has lost the nomination. He has inadvertently revealed a cancer which has metastasized within the USA with too little recognition or focus over the years. If we are to truly emerge into a post-racial America the hatred being preached in some of these mainstream black churches and similar organizations, such as the Nation of Islam, has got to stop or be marginalized the same way the KKK and neo-Nazi organizations has been within the white community.
It may be wishful thinking on my part but now that more American’s have become aware of this problem perhaps these preachers of hate will finally be ostracized, and this in turn should lead to significant new strides in race relations and improvements within the black community itself. Unfortunately it will probably take further decades to undo the damage that has been caused by the likes of Obama’s church and similar hate-groups, but it must be done. At least the process of healing within the affected parts of the black community may finally begin. Hopefully we will hear more about these hate groups in the coming weeks and months even after Obama is no longer a factor in the election.

I hope that this controversy obliterates the PC taboos that until now have prevented this problem from being debated and progress from being made. The ice has been broken and people are more comfortable discussing this issue now, I hope, and it’s time that every last racist group is kicked into the shadows where it belongs where they will hopefully wither and die.
FloatingRock on March 22, 2008 at 12:04 AM
I have reached the point where I am am just kicking back and enjoying the fireworks.
Dems attacking Dems.
Washington post calling Hillary a liar.
DailyKos banning all pro Hillary posts
Dems kneecapping Hillary with the do overs (and attacking themselves when it comes to NH)
GF calling Obama a racist.
Hillary “sleeping girl” going after Hillary.
Obama attacking his grandmother.
Obama trying to distance himself from Rev Wright by comparing him to a crazy uncle.
So many people have been thrown under the bus that I am starting to wonder if there is any room left between the axles and the pavement.
F15Mech on March 22, 2008 at 12:15 AM
When racists spout “G-d damn Amerika”,
Obama wouldn’t stand up for us here in our own back yard.
On the worlds stage when racists chant “Deth to Amerika” and are possibly armed with nuclear weapons.
Do you think that Obama will stand up for us then?
A viper does not stand, it slithers.
Obama had a chance to repudiate the racist bigots that surround him. Instead he preferred to give pathetic excuses.
Shame on you Obama, shame on you.
Zorgon on March 22, 2008 at 12:18 AM
I have a sister with 2 kids, I wonder if they think of me as the “crazy uncle…”?
NA… I think my “libertarian”, brother would get that moniker, and not just because hes gay either… He is “crazy” >:D
I have 2 brothers..
(Or it could be my other brother, that gets really upset during football games… he’s a Bears Superfan at it’s worst)
Chakra Hammer on March 22, 2008 at 12:26 AM
If you ask my 17 nieces and nephews I am sure they will agree that I am the “crazy uncle”. ;)
F15Mech on March 22, 2008 at 12:36 AM
Don’t worry about it, keep shoving, there;s plenty of room at the back of the bus :)
OldEnglish on March 22, 2008 at 12:39 AM
Even though, I cited by brothers “ills”, I bet that I’m considered the “Crazy Uncle”. >:D
I have a twisted sense of humor, that may not come across in, posts.. :\
Also, when I was younger I was umm… “wild”, very “wild”
(fights and stuffs, etc. and all that etcs..)
Chakra Hammer on March 22, 2008 at 1:00 AM
I hear you my sense of humor is the same.
F15Mech on March 22, 2008 at 1:04 AM
Is Michelle Obama a “typical black person”? Is that a fair question or is THAT twisted? ha ha
DfDeportation on March 22, 2008 at 1:24 AM
I doubt that I will be the last word in the Obama drama, but here’s my 2 cents worth.
This man is bi-racial, but it sure don’t seem that way, does it?
OneEyedJack on March 22, 2008 at 1:50 AM
Queen - 1975
And keep Good Company
So Obama didn’t listen to his grandparents and doesn’t take care of them or respect them, and the company he keeps - If I kept that type of company I would be in jail or should be in jail.

Looks like granny may have broken the axles on the bus when Barry threw her under it…
Can’t wait until Mickey O goes nuclear and puts the final nail in the coffin.

On of the things I have never understood about such poll questions; If before the speech the chance of me voting for Obama was 0 percent, and after the speech the chance was still 0 percent, do I answer, the same, or less likely?

Allah sez:
Not likely, The Candidate of Perpetual Outrage is about to address a townlhall meeting. Something about Hillery and Tailgunner Joe.
Exit question: Why aren’t you in church Barry. It’s Easter Sunday.
Allah has an excuse, what’s yours?

Oops. I was off yesterday and it seems like Sunday
I’m glad I caught that before I went to work tomorrow wondering, “Why is the traffic so light”.

So incredibly well said. The accurate diagnosis of the extent that hatred and separatism still exists in our country, as revealed by Obama’s candidacy, contains the kernel of a true legacy of hope and healing for our country.
